Cauldron of Blood

A towering Khaine statue rises above a magical basin and its curving staircases. Witch Elves and a Death Hag create a symmetrical ceremonial crew around the sacrifice. Crone Hellebron can replace the Hag and occupy different positions on the structure. Compatible figure fittings also connect the centrepiece to the new infantry kit.

Bloodwrack Shrine

A Medusa rises from a bowl beneath a mirror intended to protect the Dark Elves from her own gaze. Mirrored masks serve the same purpose for her attendants. Serpents, an ancient spear and a painfully distorted body express Atharti’s curse. Shared components also allow a Medusa or shrine characters to stand separately when the other main assembly is chosen.

Witch Elves

Ten plastic devotees of Khaine leap and lunge from scenic supports. Long separate hair pieces and paired blades convey their frenzy. The kit includes a full command group and alternative banner details. Andrew emphasises the contrast between those moving figures and the disciplined ranks elsewhere in the army.
